Six years ago, #RobinWilliams died by suicide, sending a wave of shock and grief around the world. People wanted answers. What we were left with was inadequate. Perhaps what Williams’ death underscored best is what many of us are often scared to admit: suicide can touch anyone.

It’s been 6 years since we lost #RobinWilliams. His death hit me so hard, I had grown up with him & felt affinity with him as he spoke so openly about his mental health issues. He brought so much joy to my life, I loved him so much. It still affects me even now.
